I have never owned or worked on a Vendo 80 Coke machine.

I have an opportunity to buy some in a collection and was wondering the current value? sorry don't have pics yet but assuming complete and in original condition, but most likely need restoration.

what the ballpark on these lately..

I personally like my V80, but I think they are on the low end for round-tops since they are single-flavor vend and electric vending.

$400-$800 range would be my ballpark.

        As far as parts value, only the compressor and cabinet are the same as the 81.

And coin entry, bottle opener, and coin return bezels, lock bar, coin chute, and a few other odds and ends.

I have two parts machines sitting here if you do need anything.

Mine keeps my beer ice cold....I love it....Only got about $250 in it but would not take $1250 for it. There is one on ebay now in the town I work in....Doesn't cool and is somewhat beat up but no beltline rust. Last I checked the bid was over $300 local pick-up only....I have to finish the 7up machine before I take on another project.

With a little work on the rollers they will vend 12 oz cans no problem.

I take it that the 80 was a very well used machine in your area? I have only bought one out of the half dozen or so that I've owned here in Arkansas. The others all came out of MO, or TN.

Make sure too that they are the Larger ebossed letters.  I find that I have an easier time selling the large embossing 80's than I do the small ones

Price?  Depends on how nice it is and how bad someone wants it.
 (in my area) a fair price for a good original goes for about 1k

I'm suppose to look at 2 of them this weekend,, he's asking 500 each for them.. but have not idea on condition.. I usually don't buy machines I can't easily sell, so not sure..
but were looking to package up a bunch of other things too so we'll see.

could be a good pick?  :hopefull:

Good Luck John ! ! !
